Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
anantaraṁ yīśu ryadā mandirād bahi rgacchati, tadānīṁ śiṣyāstaṁ mandiranirmmāṇaṁ darśayitumāgatāḥ|
2 But answering, he said to them, "Do you not see all of these things? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
tato yīśustānuvāca, yūyaṁ kimetāni na paśyatha? yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, etannicayanasya pāṣāṇaikamapyanyapāṣāṇepari na sthāsyati sarvvāṇi bhūmisāt kāriṣyante|
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" (aiōn g165)
anantaraṁ tasmin jaitunaparvvatopari samupaviṣṭe śiṣyāstasya samīpamāgatya guptaṁ papracchuḥ, etā ghaṭanāḥ kadā bhaviṣyanti? bhavata āgamanasya yugāntasya ca kiṁ lakṣma? tadasmān vadatu| (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
tadānīṁ yīśustānavocat, avadhadvvaṁ, kopi yuṣmān na bhramayet|
5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
bahavo mama nāma gṛhlanta āgamiṣyanti, khrīṣṭo'hameveti vācaṁ vadanto bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
yūyañca saṁgrāmasya raṇasya cāḍambaraṁ śroṣyatha, avadhadvvaṁ tena cañcalā mā bhavata, etānyavaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyante, kintu tadā yugānto nahi|
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in various places.
aparaṁ deśasya vipakṣo deśo rājyasya vipakṣo rājyaṁ bhaviṣyati, sthāne sthāne ca durbhikṣaṁ mahāmārī bhūkampaśca bhaviṣyanti,
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
etāni duḥkhopakramāḥ|
9 Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
tadānīṁ lokā duḥkhaṁ bhojayituṁ yuṣmān parakareṣu samarpayiṣyanti haniṣyanti ca, tathā mama nāmakāraṇād yūyaṁ sarvvadeśīyamanujānāṁ samīpe ghṛṇārhā bhaviṣyatha|
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
bahuṣu vighnaṁ prāptavatsu parasparam ṛtīyāṁ kṛtavatsu ca eko'paraṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
tathā bahavo mṛṣābhaviṣyadvādina upasthāya bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
12 And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
duṣkarmmaṇāṁ bāhulyāñca bahūnāṁ prema śītalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
kintu yaḥ kaścit śeṣaṁ yāvad dhairyyamāśrayate, saeva paritrāyiṣyate|
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
aparaṁ sarvvadeśīyalokān pratimākṣī bhavituṁ rājasya śubhasamācāraḥ sarvvajagati pracāriṣyate, etādṛśi sati yugānta upasthāsyati|
15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
ato yat sarvvanāśakṛdghṛṇārhaṁ vastu dāniyelbhaviṣyadvadinā proktaṁ tad yadā puṇyasthāne sthāpitaṁ drakṣyatha, (yaḥ paṭhati, sa budhyatāṁ)
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
tadānīṁ ye yihūdīyadeśe tiṣṭhanti, te parvvateṣu palāyantāṁ|
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
yaḥ kaścid gṛhapṛṣṭhe tiṣṭhati, sa gṛhāt kimapi vastvānetum adhe nāvarohet|
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
yaśca kṣetre tiṣṭhati, sopi vastramānetuṁ parāvṛtya na yāyāt|
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.
tadānīṁ garbhiṇīstanyapāyayitrīṇāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati|
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
ato yaṣmākaṁ palāyanaṁ śītakāle viśrāmavāre vā yanna bhavet, tadarthaṁ prārthayadhvam|
21 for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
ā jagadārambhād etatkālaparyyanantaṁ yādṛśaḥ kadāpi nābhavat na ca bhaviṣyati tādṛśo mahākleśastadānīm upasthāsyati|
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
tasya kleśasya samayo yadi hsvo na kriyeta, tarhi kasyāpi prāṇino rakṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknuyāt, kintu manonītamanujānāṁ kṛte sa kālo hsvīkariṣyate|
23 "Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.
aparañca paśyata, khrīṣṭo'tra vidyate, vā tatra vidyate, tadānīṁ yadī kaścid yuṣmāna iti vākyaṁ vadati, tathāpi tat na pratīt|
24 For there will arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
yato bhāktakhrīṣṭā bhāktabhaviṣyadvādinaśca upasthāya yāni mahanti lakṣmāṇi citrakarmmāṇi ca prakāśayiṣyanti, tai ryadi sambhavet tarhi manonītamānavā api bhrāmiṣyante|
25 "See, I have told you beforehand.
paśyata, ghaṭanātaḥ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmān vārttām avādiṣam|
26 If therefore they tell you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.
ataḥ paśyata, sa prāntare vidyata iti vākye kenacit kathitepi bahi rmā gacchata, vā paśyata, sontaḥpure vidyate, etadvākya uktepi mā pratīta|
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
yato yathā vidyut pūrvvadiśo nirgatya paścimadiśaṁ yāvat prakāśate, tathā mānuṣaputrasyāpyāgamanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
28 Wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.
yatra śavastiṣṭhati, tatreva gṛdhrā milanti|
29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
aparaṁ tasya kleśasamayasyāvyavahitaparatra sūryyasya tejo lopsyate, candramā jyosnāṁ na kariṣyati, nabhaso nakṣatrāṇi patiṣyanti, gagaṇīyā grahāśca vicaliṣyanti|
30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
tadānīm ākāśamadhye manujasutasya lakṣma darśiṣyate, tato nijaparākrameṇa mahātejasā ca meghārūḍhaṁ manujasutaṁ nabhasāgacchantaṁ vilokya pṛthivyāḥ sarvvavaṁśīyā vilapiṣyanti|
31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
tadānīṁ sa mahāśabdāyamānatūryyā vādakān nijadūtān praheṣyati, te vyomna ekasīmāto'parasīmāṁ yāvat caturdiśastasya manonītajanān ānīya melayiṣyanti|
32 "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
uḍumbarapādapasya dṛṣṭāntaṁ śikṣadhvaṁ; yadā tasya navīnāḥ śākhā jāyante, pallavādiśca nirgacchati, tadā nidāghakālaḥ savidho bhavatīti yūyaṁ jānītha;
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
tadvad etā ghaṭanā dṛṣṭvā sa samayo dvāra upāsthād iti jānīta|
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
yuṣmānahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi, idānīntanajanānāṁ gamanāt pūrvvameva tāni sarvvāṇi ghaṭiṣyante|
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
nabhomedinyo rluptayorapi mama vāk kadāpi na lopsyate|
36 But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.
aparaṁ mama tātaṁ vinā mānuṣaḥ svargastho dūto vā kopi taddinaṁ taddaṇḍañca na jñāpayati|
37 "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
aparaṁ nohe vidyamāne yādṛśamabhavat tādṛśaṁ manujasutasyāgamanakālepi bhaviṣyati|
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship,
phalato jalāplāvanāt pūrvvaṁ yaddinaṁ yāvat nohaḥ potaṁ nārohat, tāvatkālaṁ yathā manuṣyā bhojane pāne vivahane vivāhane ca pravṛttā āsan;
39 and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
aparam āplāvitoyamāgatya yāvat sakalamanujān plāvayitvā nānayat, tāvat te yathā na vidāmāsuḥ, tathā manujasutāgamanepi bhaviṣyati|
40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
tadā kṣetrasthitayordvayoreko dhāriṣyate, aparastyājiṣyate|
41 Two will be grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and the other left.
tathā peṣaṇyā piṁṣatyorubhayo ryoṣitorekā dhāriṣyate'parā tyājiṣyate|
42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
yuṣmākaṁ prabhuḥ kasmin daṇḍa āgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rnāvagamyate, tasmāt jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata|
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
kutra yāme stena āgamiṣyatīti ced gṛhastho jñātum aśakṣyat, tarhi jāgaritvā taṁ sandhiṁ karttitum avārayiṣyat tad jānīta|
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
yuṣmābhiravadhīyatāṁ, yato yuṣmābhi ryatra na budhyate, tatraiva daṇḍe manujasuta āyāsyati|
45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
prabhu rnijaparivārān yathākālaṁ bhojayituṁ yaṁ dāsam adhyakṣīkṛtya sthāpayati, tādṛśo viśvāsyo dhīmān dāsaḥ kaḥ?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
prabhurāgatya yaṁ dāsaṁ tathācarantaṁ vīkṣate, saeva dhanyaḥ|
47 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, sa taṁ nijasarvvasvasyādhipaṁ kariṣyati|
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'
kintu prabhurāgantuṁ vilambata iti manasi cintayitvā yo duṣṭo dāso
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
'paradāsān praharttuṁ mattānāṁ saṅge bhoktuṁ pātuñca pravarttate,
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour when he does not know it,
sa dāso yadā nāpekṣate, yañca daṇḍaṁ na jānāti, tatkālaeva tatprabhurupasthāsyati|
51 and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
tadā taṁ daṇḍayitvā yatra sthāne rodanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañcāsāte, tatra kapaṭibhiḥ sākaṁ taddaśāṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
